The mother-of-two also spoke to the fashion magazine about how she deals with the more “uncomfortable and painful” roles she takes on.

“It's hard to let them go, but in the end I always feel like they've made me a little more compassionate than I was two months ago.” And with the safety net, you know that's not your reality. It leads to less judgment and more compassion in every area of ​​my life.”
